'PRAYING MANTIS' HUMANOID Attacks Girl in South Carolina Trailer Park!

"I stood there frozen and the creature was just staring back at me. And then everything is blank until I come running back into our trailer screaming that I'm in pain between my legs."

I received the following account:

"Hi. I'm a 52-year-old female, married with grown kids and five grandchildren. First of all, since this encounter, I have never forgotten it. Although exactly what happened is a mystery to me.

I was around age 6, and we lived in a trailer park in Greenville, South Carolina, in Mr. Hicums Trailer Park. This would have been about 1976 or 1977. All this information has been confirmed by my mom. It was a warm and sunny day. I was playing outside with my two older brothers. I was the youngest of three. It was a day like all the others, we were playing tag or hide and go seek. I went to hide. I ran around the back of our home. And suddenly I ran almost into a humanoid praying mantis.

At the time I thought it was a giant insect, I could not really comprehend what I was seeing. I felt like all the breath was taken from me. It was taller than my dad and it was standing next to our propane tank. Years later when I thought about it I told myself that maybe there was a gas leak. Anyway back to the mantis.

I stood there frozen in broad daylight and the creature was just staring back at me. And then everything is blank until I come running back into our trailer screaming that I'm in pain between my legs. My mother was so concerned that she pulled down my shorts and underwear to inspect me. She says nothing is wrong, and I go to sleep crying. This has always been with me. It and this praying mantis stay in the back of my mind. Then a few years ago I heard about this UFO sighting reported by the Highland, Illinois Police Department. Weird, I thought. we moved up there when I was 8 and moved back to South Carolina when I was 10 years old. I was telling my husband about this thing that happened when I was a kid.

We both laughed as I swore it really did happen. So I got curious and Googled the praying mantis aliens, and I remember it felt like I was punched in the stomach as I sat there looking at imagery exactly how I saw it over 30 years ago. I showed it to my husband and he was in shock.

I don't know what happened to me between my encounter and when I came running in screaming about burning down there. I had a real fear of monsters after that and a great deal of nightmares, but nothing like what I saw. It was all about bloody baby dolls inside plastic bags, scooting their plastic bodies around and down the hallways trying to get me.

Also, another recurring dream was a farmer-type man in overalls with a pitchfork walking by all my family members just to get to me. At the end of the dream, he would stab me in the chest. This dream started when I lived in Highland, Illinois. I never was able to give birth naturally either. I had to have C-sections.

My father passed away at the age of 38 from lung cancer, I was only 15. It has not been an easy life for me, but I'm a Christian and find comfort in God's word. I have tried to read more about this mantis humanoid creature and have not got a lot of info. Usually, when I'm reading about it, right before bed I fall asleep very quickly and get nowhere. I'm reaching out because I feel like this is really happening, and not just to me. It doesn't matter to me to get attention, via printing a story. I just want to know if you have heard of others like me? Sincerely. C"

NOTE: I'm sure the witness contacted me as a result of the Hackettstown, NJ encounters, but as far as possible physical contact, this may be a first for me. Most people who have encountered these beings experience headaches and mental distress. I mentioned to the witness to feel free to contact me if she wishes to disclose further information. Lon

'OWLMAN' WINGED HUMANOID Encountered by Couple in Rolling Meadows, Illinois

After the airing of 'The Mothman Revisited' episode in Season 4 of 'Unsolved Mysteries,' I have continued to receive eyewitness reports of winged humanoids in the Chicagoland region.

If further information is received, it will be added to the report. We have received worldwide inquiries as well. The incidents specifically reported in the Chicagoland region are on the Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map.

"Hello. It has been a few years (June 2022) since that strange evening. I thought I would share our (my husband and I) experience now that it has been brought up again recently while watching an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" on Mothman. Finding out that there have been a large number of sightings in the Chicagoland area has made me feel less alone.

My husband and I were driving down Kirchoff Road in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, heading home towards Plum Grove Road. It was a little after midnight when we left my in-laws' house to head home. It's a short trip of only about a mile, which we've taken thousands of times. This night was different.

As we got close to home, a very large winged creature landed on the road on the opposite side. It was dark, but we could see the massive wings that were larger than an SUV. The wings were spread out, and we slowed down and stopped the car. I turned on my brights and shifted the car more toward its direction to see what the hell it was. We didn't see any face, but we saw legs that looked almost human-like, and the biggest wings we'd ever seen. This was no bird. It was huge, and when I shined my lights on it, it shot up so fast into the tall trees and disappeared. It was strange how quickly it happened and how it flew back up into the trees.

We went to look further and turned the car around to see where this creature, or as we like to describe it, an "owl man" that was 4 to 5 feet tall with wings taller than its body. It was gone. Something that big should have been visible in a tree or around us, but it wasn't. We were shocked and unsure of what we saw. We talked about it that night, and I tried to convince myself it was some crazy-sized owl or bird, but my husband knew it was something different, something more. 

After all this time, I never did any research as I felt in denial about what we saw, but our experience seemed similar to others. Reading that there was a similar sighting so close to us in Hoffman Estates a few years back, I now believe that what we saw is real and out there. I feel we saw the back side of this creature and could identify its legs, which were the size of a man's, not a bird's or even an owl's, but the wings were reminiscent of an owl's, just way too big to compare. I wanted to share our experience as others might have had this experience as well.

Feel free to reach out and let me know if u have any questions.

I had AI create a photo similar to what we saw as I attached to the email." A





NOTE: This general area has previously witnessed a winged humanoid and another unknown cryptid sighting, posted at humanoid owl seen in October 2019 by a couple, and also a tall, white-grayish bipedal creature that frightens a family in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Lon

REAL-LIFE, FLUTE-PLAYING 'LEPRECHAUN' Enchants Listeners in the Oxford Circus Underground!

"I must have registered some astonished awareness on my face because he smiled in the middle of his playing and gave me a wink and a nod."

I received the following account from a reader:

"Hello, Lon. One day in 1988, I was on my way to an appointment in London's southeast area. I was traveling through Oxford Circus to get to the line which would take me to my station. In Oxford Circus Underground there are at least 3 levels which are hubs with various lines that run through them and I was on the second level heading to my eastbound train. I passed through the main hub of that level which had escalators going up to the street level and a series of other tunnels branching off of it.

As I approached the main chamber I was overcome by wonder and curiosity because there was a sound coming from there that I could not really comprehend. It was musical and yet at the same time it was not. The sound was very enchanting and I was becoming more and more curious by the second to see what was making it. Entering the main chamber en route to the other tunnel I looked over to the source and this is what I saw in the few seconds it took to cross that chamber.

There were two very long escalators going up and down to the street level and in the center between the two stood a little man. Upon first glance, I noted that he was cherubic in stature, with stocky arms and legs and a face with rosy cheeks, and even at my location a few feet away I could see his eyes were extremely blue, otherworldly in color, and twinkling. His lips were red and he had a white mustache and beard and his hair was blonde silver in color. These details were striking about the others that were in evidence.

In his hands, he held a delicate silver flute from which that sound or music (if you could call it that) was emanating. It was enchanting in the sense that one's mind would try to resolve it to a melody or a harmony and then it would dance away to become something else. His dress was very much what you would imagine were you to see a leprechaun in real life. Drab in color with beige, earth green, and khaki brown tones, with boots that looked made of felt and the like, and even a small felt khaki green hat on his head with a feather in it.

Ok, so he could have been dressed in a costume and that would have been the end of my curiosity were it not for what was happening around him. Crowds of people going up and down those escalators on both sides were reaching into their pockets and wallets and dropping money into his oversized flute case. But, But! Was filled to overflow with coins! That was what caught my attention and the fact that the people who were tossing in the money were not even looking at him, it was like they were in a trance.

He was looking at me the whole time, watching me see what was going on and I must have registered some astonished awareness on my face because he smiled in the middle of his playing and gave me a wink and a nod. He continued to play on, that eerie music filling the hall and the ears and mind, and the people continued on like sleepers, not paying attention just digging in their pockets and dropping money into his bag.

I continued on to my connecting tunnel and not a few feet down that tunnel I encountered a young man playing an electric guitar with an amplifier who was being completely drowned out by the eerie sounds coming from the adjoining chamber. I looked into his guitar case as I went by and saw that he had only a few coins in there. I looked at his face and he gave me a look that bespoke amazement and irritation that his music should be drowned out by that otherworldly one coming from the main hall. Feeling badly for him I dropped a pound coin into his case and continued on my way slightly befuddled by what I had just seen and experienced.

I later shared this with some friends that I had seen what I thought was a real leprechaun and told them the story. They laughed at me and thought I'd lost my marbles. Then about a week or so later one of my friends came up to me at work very excited. She said she had just seen my leprechaun in the same place in the exact same situation as I had described. Everything was the same down to the people in a trance dropping money into his bag. She said when she had seen him her mouth dropped open in amazement as she realized I had been telling it exactly as it was and he too had looked over to her during that moment of astonishment and given her a wink and a nod. We never saw or heard of him again after that so perhaps he got what he needed." L
